Terri,

Our Social Worker (and I use that loosely) is pathetic. She is not

interested. I am glad you feel better. I am sure its just a passing

thing (praying).

(SA)

Go see a therapist of some sort.

Coming into spring last year I was a mess. Nigel had been working for 3

months after being unemployed for 12 months, having come back from East

Timor - he litterally did nothing for that time other than army reserve

work. The household, children and medical duties still all fell on my

shoulders. Then the so and so said that he was going to quit this job-

the week before the kids birthdays and the business end of uni

semester. I could not find the energy to even contemplate dealing with

him, so chose to ignore him.

As my exams finished I felt like a totally different person, I was not

looking forward to xmas, barely had any enthusiasm for anything but did

not show it on the outside. The best thing I did was talk to my GP who

referred me to this wonderful psychologist. By New Years I was feeling

so much better, she gave me the courage to look at myself, my life and

to start to fix it myself.

I also find that our social worker at the cf clinic is terrific - sorry

but she is the only one that I have found is of any value - she has

worked for the military and understands where my problems lie with Nigel

as well as my issues with cf.

Talk, talk, talk, to whom ever you feel comfortable with.

Good luck

Terri

-Hi again, Terri,

I have to say, reading your posts is truly inspiring to me...Here

you are, a woman who has had much hardship in your life, many

difficult challenges...but not one iota of bitterness in your words

or tone...You have taken what He has given you with a grace and a

strength that is both courageous and admirable. We should all strive

to be such a person.

I am thrilled for you that your hcg levels are rising, that you are

going to realize your dream of finishing school and that you have

such wonderful hubby and son. I will pray for his health too, as he

is so very young. The good news is that being so young, recovery

from such a large surgery should be easier than say for a man my

father's age (late 60's) for whom the ravages of diabetes have put

him on the predialysis list and left kidney transplant as an

impossibility for him...

I wanted to ask you what you are studying and what career you hope

to enter?

Anyway, congrats on the good news...and one day at a time, right?

Would love to keep in touch with you, so please feel free to email

me.

Hugs and good wishes,

EDC Nov 10....21 Weeks!

Pomy,

I will try to find it and let you know where you can get it. I lent it

to my friend who has MS; I call her.
